    Scallion cream cheese on an everything bagel
    Adriana M.

    I was craving an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese. I wanted to try out this bagel spot, as I've never been before and am trying to find the best bagels in my area. The shop is clean and the service is friendly. My bagel was delicious and definitely satisfied my craving. Prices are very fair too.

    Bacon, egg and cheese on an everything bagel

    I got a bacon, egg and cheese on an everything bagel and there wasn't much egg in it. The bacon portion was fair and cooked well. The bagel was just ok with no toppings on the bottom which had a commercial look to it. The service was very good but they were understaffed and I waited about 10-12 minutes for my food. The setting was clean with apparent regulars customers and delivery people coming in to pick up orders. I'd go back if in the area but it wouldn't be my first choice if I were a local.

    bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel

    definitely come here they use real egg instead of that gross powdered stuff for bagels and the bacon is great! coffee ridiculously cheap you can't find anything better! very kind employees

    Great place for take out or eat-in. The staff are friendly and respectful. Cozy and clean atmosphere. Great for breakfast and deli sandwiches. Their bagels are made fresh in house. Just wish they has an unsalted-everything bagel option. They offer catering menu as well. Prices are reasonable with excellent quality and portions. A neighborhood gem in Medford!

    This is my go to place for bagels and egg sandwiches in the area! They're always busy which just goes to show that I'm not the only one who thinks they're great. That being said, I would definitely call ahead to place your order and especially on the weekend. Joel & his crew are sooo nice and really make you feel that neighborly and community love. A++ Joels!

    Went to Joel's bagels today starving to death, but they didn't have any more everything bagels, which I was craving so Jefferson at the counter suggested the everything twist. I worked in the Bagel business for many years extremely picky. I asked him to scoop out as much as possible, and usually when you ask people to do that, they roll their eyes and they do it half assed. This kid scooped out every little bit of that bagel for me and put the perfect amount of jalapeño cream cheese. Thank you so so so so much. You actually made my day because I usually don't like anything. YOU ROCK

    They make a solid BEC, I got this one with a hash brown. They take a bit longer than most bagel places but the food is delicious and the staff is so nice. I got 2 of these sandwiches and 2 bagels with butter for $18!

    A local gem, Joels Bagels is a must-stop shop for all of your bagel, sandwich, and breakfast on-the-go needs. With a wide variety of cream cheeses, sandwiches, bagels, and more, there is something for every palette to enjoy on the run. Service is always friendly and efficient adding to a more pleasant start to anyone's morning. My husband and I have staple bagel favorites when coming into Joels Bagels. We love our egg sandwiches: egg everything bagel with eggs, bacon, cheese, ketchup, and salt and pepper (his) and a garlic or rainbow bagel with eggs and bacon (mine). The bagels are always the perfect texture/chew and the sandwiches themselves are consistently crafted with care. Everything always just melts in our mouths. We have been patrons of Joels Bagels since they opened, although we now live out of state, they're always at the top of our list to get our bagel/breakfast fix while we're in town visiting family. The owner is there every morning we stop in actively helping out the staff and warmly greeting his customers. Despite how busy it is, he will always come around the counter to greet us with a hug and smile. He is always thrilled to see my husband and me when we're in town and stop by the shop, which makes going to Joels also feel like catching up with family. Kudos to Orlando and his staff for whipping up great food and building strong connections with your customers. Your friends from California can't wait to visit again soon.

    Awhile back, I left a pretty bad review for this place. Since then, they've changed owners, and…read moremade some much needed cosmetic changes to the storefront as well (not that it matters that much, but who wants to buy food from a place that looks like a dump?) Anyway.... I was hesitant to give em another shot, but after hearing about new ownership, fair is fair. And I didn't think my previous review would be "fair" to them. So I made my obligatory "3 visit" rule (I try out a place 3x times before writing a bad review; after all, everyone is entitled to have a bad day, right?). So.... I'm happy to report NOW that the place was clean, the staff were pleasant and friendly, and the pizza was GREAT. Lots of choices (I'm a by the slice kinda guy), all tasted fresh, and frankly, it's pretty damn good. With that: 5 stars, and a hearty recommendation! Enjoy!

    This place has really gone downhill. The food was not as good as Pappa Nicks but was livable. Then…read morethey switched to an answering service that takes your orders. A nightmare!!!!

The hero roll was a fresh, seeded semolina bread--crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The chicken cutlet was generously sized and fried to perfection. The cheese was plentiful, and the sandwich wasn't overloaded with sauce. When I opened the bag and saw the hero, I was pleasantly surprised. At $13, it was a substantial sandwich and a good value. Many restaurants charge similar prices but skimp on the filling, leaving you with little more than a bread sandwich. On my first bite, I immediately noticed the tangy, acidic tomato sauce. While many people enjoy a bright, acidic sauce, it's not my personal preference. I also encountered a chewy bite, likely from the tendon that sometimes runs through a chicken tenderloin. It's the tough white cord-like strip that can occasionally make its way into a sandwich. Overall, I'd rate this sandwich an 8/10 for value but only a 5/10 for flavor. While the portion size and quality of the bread and chicken were impressive, the sauce wasn't to my liking. Unfortunately, I won't be back.
